Hi @BBCNews @BBCCareers @BBCRealityCheck

I pointed out some errors in your equalities monitoring exactly 12 months ago (see previous tweets) but I see nothing has changed.

Can you say why you are still using terms that are not in the Equality Act & other undefined terms?

1/2
Can you also explain how you will meet your Public Sector Equality Duty given these errors and your use of incorrect terms and how you know whether you have met it in the past given your data could have been corrupted by those who didn't provide their sex?

Please respond.

2/2

Hi @TheGreenParty @ShahrarAli @DrSextonGreen @jon_bartley @sianberry

On your job vacancies page, you correctly list sex as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010:

1/8
However, on your Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form, under the heading of 'gender', you ask, "To which gender do you most identify?" and include the options, 'Female', 'Male', 'Non-binary' and 'Prefer to self-identify':

'Gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

Hi @northumbriapol @NorthumbriaPCC

The Equal Opportunities section of your job application lists the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 but it uses the term 'Sex Equality' when the correct term is 'Sex'. It also mentions positive action under the Act.

You then ask for the applicant's 'Gender', including the options 'Male', 'Female' and 'Prefer to self describe'.

'Gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

Hi @StaffsPolice @staffspoliceCC @accemmabarnett @StaffsPFCC

Your job applications talk about positive action and the Equalities [sic] Act 2010 as does the Equal Opportunities form and the latter correctly lists sex as one of the protected characteristics under the Act:

However, the form asks for the 'gender' of the applicant, with the options of 'Male' and 'Female':

'Gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.
